Verdant Design

Beauty can be found in small spaces. Come view how 8′ tall concrete wall, 3 A/C units, and a limestone outcrop can be made into a beautiful small space.

The Richardson’s wanted to increase the beauty of their backyard. They already had a wonderful array of evergreens, but colorful plants were needed. Verdant offered a design based on the view from their study that shows the new plants that offer color in their leaves (therefore color all season) and long-blooming plants. Some of the plants include: Prairie Dropseed, River Oats, Golden Prairie Fire Dogwood, and Leatherleaf Viburnum.

The Louisville Downtown Management District embarked in 2002 to issue artistic bike racks around the downtown.  It raises the awareness of the arts, funds artists in the city, and supplies needed bike racks to the urban core.  The LDMD just finished another round of art bike rack submittals.  To see the current bike racks, go to Louisville Downtown Management District website. The map in the center shows where the bike racks are located. By clicking on the surround pictures, one can see an enlarged photo of the bike racks. Below is a bike rack design submitted by Verdant Design which references Brad White’s bike rack.

Pink Folly

The Smith Residence shows how a very steeply sloped back yard can become its greatest feature. Rain barrels capture the water for planting beds near the house. New terraces shaped like arcs create level ground. Places where erosion occured become a focal point as a dry creekstone bed.
This is a 3D view of the conceptual design.

A client needed a landcape inspection report in order to wrap up their project.  Photos from the final landscape can be seen below.  Click here for more on the project.
